Not sure if this would work as I have not tested it myself but it should be one option -- also if it does work and you do like how it turns out -- you just need to edit /etc/fstab to make the folders bind on boot. Again you will run into permission issues if another computer adds files.

So another option would be to have a cronjob to archive the files you want to protect and have the outputted archive go to the BackUp folder.

If you only want backup and not synchronization you should use a backup/archiving program like unison or duplicity, either directly to a remote location or to a local directory and you can sync that. This also gives you the option to restore symlinks, permissions, ownerships or even ACLs.
